LIFE HACK:

WHAT:

From the latest election polls to playing our favorite songs, the Amazon Echo is my family's latest obsession.

Why I love it:

Alexa, the voice of Amazon Echo, will help you with everything from the weather report to giving you the latest sports scores. I also love using her as my own personal DJ, she can find even the most obscure songs! I've never felt so organized — welcome to the family Alexa!

LIFE HACK:

WHAT:

The easiest way to find and book fitness classes and spa appointments in any city.

Why I love it:

When I'm on the go, I love using MINDBODY to see what classes are happening around me and book a spot. Yoga, pilates, barre — it's all on the app. Plus, you can book everything from a facial to a massage at local spas.

LIFE HACK:

WHAT:

A mobile app that lets you get medical care when you need it, wherever you are.

Why I love it:

One Medical has doctor's offices (super chic, might I add) all over the US. Since I travel a lot and get sick a lot it is so easy to be able to book an appointment wherever I am and they have all your information. Plus, you can also have video appointments and have prescriptions filled over email if you're in a new city. Honestly, this app keeps me so organized and helps me out in a pinch every time. It saves me from having to run around new cities and calling all different doctors to send over information.

LIFE HACK:

WHAT:

The easiest way to split the check with friends and handle expenses when traveling with a group.

Why I love it:

My friends and I use Splitwise for everything from our summer share house to group trips. Keep track of what you've paid for and "settle" any debts with friends right in the app. It's also helps you avoid handing over 10 credit cards when the bill arrives at the end of dinner.
